BerievBeriev holds a number of orders for Be-200ChS from international customers (UAC)

At the ongoing Paris Air Show, Russia’s Beriev Aircraft Company, which is part of Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), has expanded its existing sales contract from five to seven Be-200ChS amphibians to a Chilean customer.

Yury Grudinin, Beriev’s general director, has revealed that deliveries to customer Asesorias CBP are scheduled for 2020 and 2021. “What we are offering today is a complex solution which, along with the aircraft includes a waterdrome project and aftersales support system,” he explains.

The contract with the Chilean company was originally signed in September 2018. At the time Russia’s United Engine Corporation (UEC) was making arrangements for re-powering the Be-200 with SaM-146 engines produced by a Russo-French joint venture between UEC-Saturn and Safran Aircraft Engines. However, in the spring of this year, the word was spread that the re-engining project had been suspended. UAC has now revealed that the contracted aircraft will be powered by their original engine option, the D-436TP made by Ukrainian Motor Sich. Since the Ukrainian government imposed a ban on all cooperation with Russian companies, the delivery of the engines is likely to be arranged via a multilateral international cooperation.

Taganrog-based Beriev holds a number of orders for Be-200ChS from international customers. Under one of the contracts the manufacturer is planning to start deliveries to Seaplane Global Air Services of the USA within the same 2020-2021 timeframe, Grudinin told RIA Novosti newswire. The agreement for 10 amphibians was finalised in June last year. “We’ve got the agreement and the papers have been signed, [with an obligation to deliver the aircraft] within 15 months starting from the first financial [transaction],” Grudinin confirmed.

The Be-200ChS is a multi-role utility amphibian aircraft designed for fire-fighting, emergency responses, search and rescue on water, wildlife monitoring and other missions. In 2007 the aircraft was awarded a supplementary type certificate approving it for carrying up to 43 passengers from sea and land aerodromes.

At the Paris, Le Bourget event, the UAC delegation also held negotiations with Indian partners regarding using the Be-200 for passenger transportation and has signed a memorandum of understanding to that effect.

These civilian orders will help keep the Be-200 programme alive. The last aircraft for its main customer, Russian Emercom, was delivered in February of this year.

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m
